Abstract
Background and purpose: Long-term endurance training improves aerobic capacity and lactic acid indicators during rest and sports activity. Yari garlic supplement has also affected human health indicators. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training with garlic supplementation on aerobic capacity and lactic acid on non-professional middle-aged female athletes in Zanjan city.
Materials and methods: 60 healthy non-professional women with an average age of 53.37 were randomly divided into four garlic supplement groups, exercise group, garlic supplement and exercise group, and control group. The first group was given garlic supplement (in the form of 500 mg capsules twice a day), the training group (endurance training only) and the garlic and training supplement group (garlic along with training). During this period, the control group did not exercise and did not receive supplements.
At the end of the eighth week, Bruce's test was performed again like the pre-test, and blood samples were taken to measure the amount of lactic acid in the pre-test and post-test. Independent t-test and covariance analysis were used to analyze the data, and the significance level was considered 0.05 in all tests.
Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the consumption of garlic supplement, exercise, garlic with exercise in increasing aerobic capacity and reducing lactic acid. After 8 weeks, the consumption of garlic supplement along with endurance training caused a significant difference in the maximum oxygen consumption compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study show that the consumption of garlic along with endurance training has a significant effect on increasing aerobic capacity and reducing lactic acid in non-professional women.
